Description
A delightful Saskatoon berry pie perfect for summer gatherings, offering a sweet berry filling under a flaky crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Saskatoon berries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pie crust: Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Trim the edges to create a nice finish.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the Saskatoon berries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the berries are well coated.
- Fill the crust: Spoon the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Top it off: Dot small pieces of butter over the filling, then cover with a second layer of pie crust (or create a lattice design for a beautiful touch).
- Bake the pie: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool before serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to let the filling set.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or cold with whipped cream. Consider using a whole grain crust for a healthier option.
